Chapter 264: Chapter 263: Ancient Heritage, Not to be Spoken Lightly_1
With Jiuying’s death, Lu Yang and his team seized the momentum, pressing on until the battle was over.
“Barbarian tribe combat technique — One Force Subdues Ten Gatherings!”
Man Gu roared, his left and right fists cracking together, smashing the armored demon beast’s head flat.
The patterned python lost its wits in the illusion, swallowing half of its own body in its confusion. By the time it came to its senses, it was too late to turn the tide.
Meng Jingzhou, seeing Lu Yang kill two demon beasts with one strike, felt competitive too. Using the Shocking Heaven Six Forms, he killed the Tiger Demon and Lion Demon outright, not even giving them a chance to escape.
Meng Jingzhou and his team were exhausted, but their faces were filled with triumphant smiles.
No matter what, they had eventually won this battle.
Lu Yang had not used up too much of his strength as he had drawn on the power of Fairy Eternity.
“Release!”
With the end of the battle, there was no further need for him to maintain the appearance of Fairy Eternity.
The moment he returned to his original form, Lu Yang felt his mind become more agile, his thoughts no longer singular.
“What on earth did I just do?!”
Remembering the foolish actions he had taken, Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat.
“What you just did was pretty good, very much my style!” Fairy Eternity gave Lu Yang a thumbs up, praising him for having the potential of an Immortal.
“That is the biggest problem!”
Reflecting on the course of the battle, Lu Yang’s transformation into Fairy Eternity using Yellow Bean’s fist brought about a substantial increase in his combat abilities, so much so that it could be described as a surge.
He could guarantee that using Yellow Bean’s fist technique would make him unbeatable in the Foundation Establishment Stage, with no one being able to match him.
But the cost was too high.
Grinning foolishly, uttering nonsense… Fortunately, this time he hadn’t done anything too outrageous, otherwise, how could he show his face in public?
Lu Yang secretly determined to treat Yellow Bean’s fist as a forbidden technique, never to be used unless absolutely necessary.
“Fairy, I can’t easily imitate you in the future, it’s too dangerous.” Lu Yang sighed, realizing that the power was exchanged at the cost of his sanity.
“I don’t think it’s dangerous though?” Fairy Eternity was confused.
“Man, you’re impressive, Lu Yang. You actually killed Jiuying. I never thought your Imitation Fist could be used like that.” Meng Jingzhou burst into laughter.
“It’s a pity though, I can’t learn your Lu Family’s Imitation Fist. Otherwise, if I could transform into my father or grandfather and borrow their strength, I wonder who could beat me!” Saying this, Meng Jingzhou wore a regretful expression.
“But there’s something I can’t figure out.”
“What is it?”
“Jiuying was tough to defeat, why didn’t we just use a teleportation talisman to send it straight to the Demon Suppressing Pass?” Meng Jingzhou wondered why Lu Yang had fought so valiantly as if he were ready to die with honor. Was that really necessary?
Lu Yang: “…”
It’s over, he has begun to be gradually assimilated by Fairy Eternity, his brain wasn’t functioning properly.
“Senior Brother Lu, who did you transform into just now?” Tao Yaoye was curious. She had no idea that Senior Brother Lu knew such a cute little girl.
“This is an ancient inheritance, not to be spoken of lightly.” Lu Yang responded mysteriously, which technically was not a lie.
The more people that knew about Fairy Eternity, the more dangerous it became.
Until now, they still did not know who had murdered Fairy Eternity, what methods they had used, or their motives.
Those who knew of Fairy Eternity’s existence would likely be targeted by the enemy.
Currently, only five people knew about Fairy Eternity: Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, Eldest Senior Sister, and Immortal Eternity.
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu had no choice, they were present when Fairy Eternity was resurrected.
As for Eldest Senior Sister, well, who’s to say who would be in danger.
Immortal Eternity couldn’t leave the Seek Dao Sect, so he was relatively safe.
“Come on, let’s tally up the spoils of war.” Meng Jingzhou called everyone to dissect the demon beasts and look for valuable loot.
Meng Jingzhou was not short of treasures or Spirit Stones, what he enjoyed was the process of reaping the rewards.
Jiuying was turned into charred remains by Lu Yang, its demon core split in two and became a waste core, and hence, nothing valuable could be found on it.
The two demon beasts that were decapitated by a single sword were rather ordinary; apart from the demon cores and fur.
The Tiger Demon that Meng Jingzhou killed had many valuable things like tiger bones and tiger penis, both were yang invigorating, unfortunately, they were of no use to Meng Jingzhou himself.
The blood of the Tiger Demon and Lion Demon was rather valuable, a master refiner could refine it and trace it back to its origin, refining a drop of Pure blood of Luwu and Lion.
The gallbladder of the patterned python could be used as antitoxin, fetching a good price.
Tao Yaoye was the poorest among them. Lu Yang and the others had served as undercover agents in the Eternity Sect and had even contributed a little to the downfall of the Eternity Sect.
These tasks gave them contribution points.
In contrast, Tao Yaoye, although she had completed many tasks, none were as crucial as the mission of the Eternity Sect.
Man Gu peeled off the armored demon beast’s scales. Their hardness and slipperiness made them excellent material for making armor.
“I’ll take them back for Junior Brother Haoran to have a look.” Man Gu put the scales into his jade token.
The four quickly packed up. They built a fire and prepared to cook dinner.
From going to the auction in the morning, travelling to the dense forest at noon, and engaging in battle in the afternoon, it had been a busy day. It was time to rest and enjoy themselves.
Moreover, especially after acquiring such great cooking ingredients, it would be a waste not to have a feast.
“Can we eat lion? I heard from my tribe that there’s a traditional dish in the Central Plains called lion’s head, which I’ve never tried.” Man Gu suggested.
After a moment of silence, Tao Yaoye finally said, “Isn’t it possible that the lion’s head you’re referring to and the one we have now aren’t the same thing?”
“Aren’t they both called lion’s head?”
“…Ah well, lion’s head it is then. We’re eating lion today.”
Everyone cooperated in the division of labor. While Man Gu had never tasted lion, he often dealt with other demon beasts when he was in the Barbarian tribe, and the processes were similar. He took the task of preparing the lion.
Lu Yang cut down a large tree, used the Green Peak Sword to cut it into a three-meter-long stake, and used it to skewer the lion.
Meng Jingzhou set up the large automatic barbecue array and put the barbecue stand in place.
Tao Yaoye went to scavenge for edibles in the area. The fruits would be a good foil to the meaty meal.
The lion, once skinned and gutted by Man Gu, was seasoned with the secret sauce of the Barbarian tribe; skewered by Lu Yang, it was placed on the barbecue stand and the Three Flavored True Fire was lit.
On the large automatic barbecue array, the lion was slowly rotating, skewered on a stake. The Three Flavored True Fire sizzled, making the oil seep out and filling the air with a delicious aroma.
Man Gu stared at the lion, dazing out as if deep in thought.
“Man Gu, what’s wrong?” Lu Yang thought Man Gu was homesick.
“I was thinking, the main target of the automatic barbecue array is small skewers. When it comes to roasting whole lambs, whole lions, or other large animals, it struggles, and the heat distribution is uneven. This tests the barbecue master’s skills to a great extent.”
“So, you want to…” Lu Yang couldn’t quite guess what Man Gu was thinking.
“I heard that some sects in the Southern Region are good at controlling corpses. Could we learn this magic skill and use it for roasting?”
“Like controlling a lamb’s corpse, letting it roast itself over the fire?”
Lu Yang: “…”
Am I the only sane one left in the Seek Dao Sect?
